Abstract
We describe a rare case of a 29-year-old woman with chronic eosinophilic pneumonia (CEP) presenting with massive bilateral pleural effusion leading to respiratory failure, a complication that was not reported before with CEP. The patient was successfully managed with ventilatory support and steroid therapy. On long-term follow-up, she remained well, receiving a low maintenance dose of prednisone without evidence of relapse of the disease.Entities:
